SINGLE LATE COTTAGE TULIPS Page 13 
OSSI OSWALDA, 25. The bloom opens creamy white with a faint trace 
of rose on the margins of the petals; this color spreads with age, when 
the fully developed flower is a clear rose. Very fine for forcing in Febru-

changes from day to day. Doz. $1.90, 100 $13.50

center, slightly shaded black. This Tulip draws universal admiration and

ROSABELLA, 26. A matchless flower of soft pink, margined pale rose 
with creamy-white center. This lovely Tulip exactly resembles a rose- 
bud in shape and coloring. It is fine for cutting and exceptionally fine 
for the garden as the flowers are very substantial and long lasting.

SINGLE EARLY TULIPS 
Single early Tulips usually flower at the end of April. These Tulips 
do not exceed 16 inches and are therefore particularly recommended for 
places exposed to the wind. They may be planted any time from the 
middle of September until the ground freezes; about 3 inches deep and 
4 or 5 inches apart. 
Since early Tulips are used in great quantities for forcing, the bulbs 
should be potted immediately on receipt and treated the same way as 
hyacinths. Tulip bulbs want at least three months for a good root de- 
velopment before they can stand a forcing temperature. 
Those marked * are the earliest flowering varieties and are specially 
recommended for forcing. They are classified by their blooming periods 
as (E) early, (M) medium, and (L) late. The figure gives height in 
inches.
